FRIED APPLE RINGS

Fried Apple Rings or Apple Fritters were one of my favorite treats growing up in Washington. The only problem was getting them. They are a specialty treat even in the state of apples.

Ingredients for Fried Apples in the Air Fryer

  • Flour: Acts as the base for the simple batter.
  • Sugar: Adds sweetness and texture to the batter.
  • Baking Powder: Give the batter some rise and fluffiness.
  • Salt: Enhances the flavors.
  • Whole Milk: Binds all the batter together.
  • Egg: Give the batter structure.
  • Butter: Adds rich flavor to the batter. Helps the sugar spice mixture to stick to the rings.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor.
  • Cinnamon: Adds warm flavor that is a signature combination with apple.
  • Ground Cardamom: Adds an additional layer of warm flavor.
  • Granny Smith Apples: Honeycrisp apples could also be used. Avoid using soft apples like McIntosh or Golden Delicious.

How to Make This Fried Apples Recipe

  1. Prep: Peel, core and slice the apples. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make Batter: Combine all the ingredients for the batter in a medium bowl starting with whisking the dry ingredients and then adding the wet ingredients.
  3. Make Cinnamon Coating: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cardamom and sugar.
  4. Coat the Apples: Dip the apples in the batter and place them in a single layer on the parchment lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze: Stick the baking sheet in the freezer and let the battered apples freeze for 45-60 minutes.
  6. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer and then air fry the apples in batches for 7-9 minutes.
  7. Finishing Touches: Immediately brush the air-fried apples with melted butter and dredge in the cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately!

PRO TIP

Cut your apples using a chef’s knife or a mandolin for faste

Candy Bars + Ice Cream = Awesomeness

Ice cream and candy bars are a match made in dessert heaven – check out all of the recipes I’ve linked at the bottom of this post for proof of that! There’s just something about that creamy ice cream base paired with crunchy, chocolate bites of candy bars that makes every scoop a treat.

Today’s new ice cream recipe brings those two things together deliciously in homemade Butterfinger ice cream. It’s rich, creamy, and filled with the perfect amount of chocolatey, peanut-buttery crunch!

Butterfinger Ice Cream

If you’ve ever had a Butterfinger candy bar, you know what I mean. Butterfingers are filled with layers of crispy, flaky, crunchy peanut butter, then coated in milk chocolate.

The texture is unlike any other candy—it’s crunchy and a little crumbly, but melts in your mouth at the same time. Chopped up and swirled into a batch of Butterfinger ice cream, those little bits and pieces add just the right amount of crunch and sweetness to every bite.

I initially made this ice cream with a peanut butter ice cream base, and that turned out to be way too much peanut butter. Even my peanut butter loving kids declared it to be too much.

As a result of that initial trial and error, the vanilla base I’ve chosen for this recipe works beautifully to

I remember stirring a batch of these cookies together with a friend in the middle of the night when I was in junior high or high school. I was a bit skeptical that it would work, but I loved them from the first bite.

There is nothing like being able to satisfy a sweet tooth craving at a moment’s notice! We sat and nibbled on the warm cookies and talked half the night.

Welcome to the weekend, my friends! Are you enjoying the cooler fall weather as much as we are? My brother is in town and I’m looking forward to much laughter, delicious food, and some board games, too. Since the weather is supposed to be great through the weekend, I’m hoping that we’ll be outside as much as possible in the cool mornings.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Tender pieces of flank steak are simmered in their own juices creating a rich and super flavorful broth to make the Carne en su Jugo (a.k.a. Meat in its Juices) that my family loves so much.

When I say that my family loves this, what I really mean is we LOVE LOVE LOVE this meal. So much so that my oldest son has requested Carne en su Jugo for his birthday dinner for the past five years now.

​​This easy-as-can-be sheet pan chicken dinner has become a favorite in many of your homes over the past two years. And my family continues to make it at least once a month. It only takes about 5 minutes of effort to toss the chicken, potatoes, and green beans in a simple lemon and herb vinaigrette before roasting until tender and crisp.

Honey glazed carrots are a welcome side dish combining the natural sweetness of carrots with a light and buttery honey glaze. This recipe can be made in just ten minutes, about the same amount of time it might take to steam some vegetables. And while I do enjoy a good many steamed vegetables, the wow factor of this glazed carrots recipe is a step or two above that.

Crispy Cajun cauliflower brings a kiss of heat to this tasty, slightly crunchy side dish. Cauliflower is a wonderfully blank slate when it comes to playing with different flavors. This makes it a perfect canvas for roasting and adding seasonings to pair with any dish.

Chock-full of bacon and beef, sweetened with molasses, and simmered until thick and sweet, cowboy baked beans are sure to impress! This recipe has been my favorite way to make baked beans for years.

An orange banana smoothie is proof that the simplest things are often the best. With just two ingredients and under five minutes, you can make the easiest smoothie ever. (And if you choose to include the bonus ingredients, it gets even better!)

This chocolate pudding bundt cake is pure chocolate lover’s heaven! Rich, deeply chocolatey, and super moist, this cake gets rave reviews and recipe requests every time I serve it.
